‘Karen’ Harasses Black Family With Taser, Tells Them To Act Like ‘Normal’ White People In White Neighborhood
A video of a racist white woman armed with a taser harassing a black family and falsely claiming that their pitbull attacked her small dog is being widely circulated on social media.
The racist incident, which took place in Discovery Bay, California and was captured on both home surveillance cameras and cellphone video, was shared on Twitter by user Jariell along with a caption noting that the woman charged at her and her brother with a taser and yelled racial slurs at them on their property.
“I am TIRED of living this way. I am TIRED of passive-aggressiveness. I am TIRED of the fake smiles. I am TIRED that I don’t feel safe in a house that I’ve lived in for 10+ years cause of the color of my skin,” she wrote.
As the video begins, the woman can be seen confronting Jariell’s brother with the taser and accusing his dog of attacking hers.
“We were raised around Black people and most of them were very nice,” the woman says before threatening to call the police on him. He explains to her that he has everything on camera and would be happy to show the cops the video footage.
“Everything is on camera,” he replies. “I’ll be happy to show them.”
“Why are you so nasty?” the woman complains.
“You came over here to my house, on my property,” he says calmly.
“All you’ve done is been negative!” the woman exclaims.
“I’m going to ask you to leave my property,” he replies.
The woman then goes on a racist tirade, saying: “You know what, you’re a Black person living in a white neighborhood and you’re acting like one,” the woman rants. “Why don’t you act like a white person in a white neighborhood?”
“You guys are acting like Black people and you shouldn’t,” she added. “You should act like white people.”
“Most people don’t act like you do,” she adds.
“You came over here with a Taser,” the man points out.
Jariell then intervenes and asks the “Karen” why she is yelling and being “disrespectful” on their property.
She begins recording the argument with her cellphone as the woman then falsely claims that their pitbull attacked her “small little dog.”
“He didn’t attack the dog,” Jariell’s brother says to her, before adding that he has everything on tape.
“You guys are acting like black people,” the woman can be heard saying. “I was raised in Oklahoma City where there were tons of black people.”
“We’re acting like what?” Jariell asks the woman to repeat what she just said. “You’re acting like people that aren’t normal,” the neighbor replied before reiterating that her “little” dog was attacked by their pitbull.
Jariell’s brother once again informs her that their dog did not attack her pet before pointing out to the woman that he saw her petting their dog and has it on video.
“You’re going to hell because I’m going to sue the hell out of you, both of you,” the woman says before the clip cuts to security camera footage showing the moment the neighbor claims she was attacked by the pitbull. The clip shows the woman asking Jariell’s nephew, who is walking the pet, its name before petting the canine. “You’re a good dog,” she can be heard saying to the dog.
